Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke says he is enjoying working with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry at international level.

The Frenchman is currently working as an assistant manager to Roberto Martinez as part of the Belgian management set-up, with the former Arsenal and Barcelona forward working with the likes of Benteke and Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku.

And Eagles ace Benteke, who is currently out with a knee ligament injury, says he is relishing working with the 40-year-old, who won two Premier League titles during his time with Arsenal.

"It was a little bit like a dream come true [to work with Thierry Henry]," Benteke told www.eagles.cpfc.co.uk .

"I had the chance to see him on TV and on YouTube in the past, so I was really pleased and it was an honour to work with him and listen to his advice.

"He knows we play in some big leagues, so he doesn't want to bother us with lots of information, but if there is something to say, he will tell us."

Meanwhile, Benteke says he is looking forward to the World Cup next summer after Belgium sealed their place in Russia by winning their qualification group, although he said he is focused on performing well for Palace to make sure of his place in the squad.

And he says that Belgium will be hoping to do well, with much expected of the Red Devils and their golden generation of players.
